Valorization of disposable COVID-19 mask through the thermo-chemical process

Sungyup Jung et al.

Summary: Wearing disposable face masks to protect against COVID-19 has become common during the pandemic, but the massive generation of contaminated masks is causing environmental concerns due to the release of toxic chemicals during disposal processes. A CO2-assisted thermo-chemical process is suggested as an environmentally friendly disposal method, simultaneously producing valuable fuels from the masks. The study focused on determining the major chemical constituents of disposable masks and employing pyrolysis to produce syngas and C1-2 hydrocarbons, showcasing a potential for environmentally benign removal of COVID-19 plastic waste.
